Generating random number between 1 to 10 but having discrete steps

Hi,
I want to generate random time steps to test my function. As i have to give random time and it will generate output on that time value. any simple solution.
As i have tried before this method.
if true
N =10;
randperm(N);
%giving me
output = 5 2 10 3 8 1 9 7 4 6
%But i want output as
output = 1.857 3.597 2.684 7.158 9.516 5.535
end
Need your guidance.

output = rand(1, 10) * 10;
There's no guarantee that the 10 values are unique but the probability that you have two identical values is extremely small.

to expand on that why not use what you have but add the decimal as rand as well.
N =10;
output = randperm(N)+rand(1,10)
or instead of randperm you can use randi(10,1,numtests)+rand(1,numtests) where numtests is the number of test cases you're putting in.
